, Another ob ect of the invention in this apy I Patented Mar. 21, 1916.Application filedDecember 26, 1912. Serial N 0. 738,611.

plication is to provide improved mechanism ,for'superposing on backingpaper lengths the dehcate'pattern lengths as they emerge from thecutting mechanism and to roll each 7 of such pattern lengths togetherwith its backing paper length into a roll, which rolls can be storedaway until they are to be applied to the ,surfacing'machine to deliverthe pattern lengths to the roofing material.

Another ob ect of the invention is to provi-de for the simultaneouscutting of a plus i rality of superposed pattern stock lengths so that adesired quantity of pattern lengths can be quickly produced.

Anotherobject is to provide improved pattern stock feeding mechanismadapted to suppert rolls of pattern paper stock'and to provide means forquickly refilling the paper supply rolls when they are empty.

Another object of the invention is to provide improved means for drivingin-take rolls for receiving the backing paper and the pattern lengths,and improved means are provided for accurately adjusting for the properspeed of the in-tak rolls with relation to the speed of travel of thepattern lengths through the cutting mechanism."

In general. the object of the invention is to provide improved cuttingmechanism,

'The roll 60 isheld in place on the shaft betweenplugs 62 and 62, endwise play of theshaft 59 being prevented by a plate 63 engaging in the annular groove.51 of the shaft, as best shown in Fig. 10.. As illustrated'in Figs. 1,2 and 5,,the pattern paper bands .p pass from the various rolls 55 overthecommon guide roller 9 and fiaom thence the superposed bands passthrough between the cutting and abutmentrolls to be cut to form thepattern lengths.

Suitable mechanism is provided by means of which paper can be suppliedto thevari- -ous rolls 55 frcmthe stock 61 when the rolls are empty.Referring to Fig; 9, the lower roll 55 carries at itsone end adrivingpulley'65arrd a gear 66, the other rolls carrying gears 66 66?; 66 andso on.
